Washington, Feb. 23 Saturday evening the republicans Id the house will hold a conference upon the Porto Rican bill. The outlook is not favor able for the passage of the measure, though it is possible that a motion to recommit to the committee on ways and means might carry If supported by the democratic side of the house. The democratic members are almost solidly opposed to the passage of the pending bill, and with tbeexception of perhaps one or two members on that side the vote will beunanlmous. Rep resentatives Sparkman and Davis, whose state is much interested in the Porto Rlcan tariff bill, perhaps with tLe single exception of Louisiana, more so than any other southern state, owing to the vast interest In oranges and fruits, may after all vote against ' he passage of the bill. The Florida members are at least faltering In their determination to vote for the bill. They are opposed to free trade be tween this country and Porto Rico, which would, it is claim d, lojure the business of their state, but as the house democracy Is so solidly opposed to the pending bill, they may sink personal and state opinion, and vote with their own party, which course, it is said by Florida people in Washington would be commended by their ooustitu nts Representative Davey, of Louisiana is also in doubt, and it is said that his vote will probably be east with the re publicans on this measure, as Ms dis trict is lvrgely la crested in Poto Rican trade. The only member counted as a democrat whose vote is sure to be cst with the republicans on this measure, is Sibley, of Pennsylvania, who on several occasions this session has kicked over the traces" until he is now egarded by his own party as a republican. On the republican side it is bard to predict the defection on this bill, as e party whip Is being wielded in a vigorous manner. A large number of republicans who would not, it is be lieved dare faee their constituents by voting with the democrats in the oppo sition, will vote to recommit. The out look is that if the motion to recommit is lost, by the democrats voting against it, that the measure will be defeated outright, but the rote may be closer than has been anticipated. The dem ocrats from North Caro'ina are against the biil, while Kinney, and White, are for the pending bill. The Virginia delegation are all opposed Hon. Josephus Daniels, of North Carolina, member of the democratic national committee, is in the rlty, at tending the meeting of that committee, which convened yesterday morning at the Raleigh Hotel. Mr. Daniels is hopeful regarding the political out look in the state, and he has no doubt buttbe proposed constitutional amend ment will be carried at the Augusteleo tion by a large majority. D- Baxter Henderson and wife, of Charlotte, N. C, were in the city on Washington's birthday, stopp.ng at the Metropolitan Hotel. Mr Hender son was in the city on personal . busi ness. Mr. and Mrs. M.

FIGHTING LIKE A BULLDOG. Outnumbered lb ret to OoefCronje Still Keeps Bp the Struggle. ONLY ONE RESULT CAN C0MC Tertflc Shelling of Lidysmitn lieved to be the Cover at m Qeneral Retreat. Be- London, Feb 23 The latest reports from Paardeberg says that Cronja is still fighting with bulldog tenacity, against odds amounting to three to one. His laager is now wholly girded by British. artillery and troop. The second edition of the Dally News aays that Cronja has surrendered, but this ii officially denied. Military men think Cronj will never surrender, but will fight to the bltttr end The details of the six days battle at Paardeberg shows that the Boers fought at the fearful odds of three to one, and that the fire of iheBrltishgans was concentrated on one spot about mile square. The exploding shells raised groat clouds of smoke, and the shells searched every burgh and rav ine. Estimate of killed and wounded reach 1,00 J. The execution was terri ble and the roar dea'ening. But one ouux me of the battle seems posslb e Crui j-i . and his brave men seem doomed. Couairy Reboots Closed. It is said that the compulsory vacoi nation order reo nelly passed by the county commissioners resulted in the Closing of about one-tblrd of the pub lic schools of the county. An unrea sonable prejudice against vaccination exists among oountry people, and rather than mbm t to it they will take their children from school. They evi dently believe sore arms are to be dreaded more than ijnorance. The ordt r was repealed by the com missioners tbi week and most of the schools a e expected to resume work at oi.ee.

KANSAS CITY, JULY fOUftllt TOWN TOOK TMS DEMOCRATIC CONVENT ION IN A WALK Followed Prrcedent In Setting Date After that of tbe Par ty In Power. Washington, Feb. 22 The national democratic convention will bs held at Kinsas City, Mo., July 4th. Thit was the decision of tbe democratic na tional committee which met at ttu Hotel Raleigh today to fix the tim and plae of holding the convention. Milwaukee was the only other city which competed for the honor of en- tertalng the convention, and the poor showing she made when the vote was taken (the result being Kansas City 40, Milwx'u ee 9), caus- d general sur prise. Tbe claims of the rival cltiet as to hotel accommodations, railroac and tel graph facilities were pr tented in open session by repreeentativt s rf each city, and subsequently In ex cu tlve session, ex-Govertior Stone, oi b half of Kanstis ity, and Nations Commltu-etuan E. Wall, on behal of Milwaukee, exp ained the financi' inducements whli-h the city representee was willing to m ke. Each offerrer the committ: V,000, b t in adriitioi Kansas City was will! g to furnish he- tel accommodations for the member of the committee and tbe hall with deco rations and music free of expense to tbe committee. One of Milwaukee's strongest argu ments was the political effect which the holding of the convention in that city would have upon the German-Ameri can voters, who were represented t the oommitte as wavering in their al legiance to tbe republican party. It seemed to be taken for granted by at least two speakers that Bryan would be renominated and th t the Chicago platform in substance would be re-af firmed. Opposition to trusts, expan sion and imperialism, together with every mention of Bryan and the Chi cago platform aroused enthusiasm but during tbe open session of the commit tee there was no illusion to the issue of free silver. Three dates for hold ing the the convention were proposed, May 9th, by Mr. Townsend, of Oregon; June 14th, by Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, and July 4th, by Mr. McGraw, of West Virginia. A speech by ex-Senator Gorman in favor of holding to precedent and naming a date later than that for the convention of the party in power had considerable influence in causing Independence Day to be chosen. After the committee had selected the "Gate City" of ti e West, tbe Kansas City boomers he'd a jollification meet ing in their rooms at the Raleigh. Ex- Governor Stone addressed the gather ing, predicting that those who attend ed the convention would depart with prais- s upon their lips for the hospitality they had received and that the nominee of the convention would be the victor at the polls in Novem ber. A Delightful Mus'cal. The Euterpe club gave a delightful musical reception at tbe home of its president, Mrs. Chas L. Van Noppen, on west Gaston street last evening. I'he following program was rendered: Piano Duet: a Hungary Moskowski b Blissful Dream. .. Meyer Helmond Mrs. Wills and Mrs Nan Noppen.

We regret that a portion of the pro gram must be given in outline, merely , but a copy of the complete program is not available. In addition to the ex cellent music, the air of hospitality which pervaded the parlors , served to make the occassion a most enjoyable one.

Caroli na' Py thlan. Attention is particularly called to the following summary of busi ness of the insurance brahch " of the Order for the te-m ending Decem ber 31st, 1899. In this statement is clearly shown the splendid condition of th's great and growing 8 stam of Pythian insurance provided for our members, a system that is today with ut a peer in all the field o' fraternal insurance. Here Is what the secretary of the Board of Control has to say: The new business obtained during ihe closing quarter of the year 1899 shows a decided improvement over he preceding quarter, while the year's results evidence that in the narch of progress the endowment rank n.as kept p tct with the best of frater aal institutions. j Durirg the quarter new sections numbering ce hundred and seventeen ere organized, distributed through ut thirty-four states and the province of Ontario. To.irty one hundred and seven mem oars were admitted and four mil lion three h'indrei and fiftv-one thous and dollars endowment issued an in crease over the preceding quarter o' forty-two sections, six hundred and sixty four members ard seven hundred eighty-eight thousand dollars endow ment. Tbe d aXh claims adju-ted during this period number ot.e hundred and Aft . -nine, amounting to three hundred and eight thousand eight hundred and sixty-two dollars which was paid in full. The work accomplished during the past year shows most gratifying re- su ts. Three hundrd and sixty-nine sections and eleven thousand and thirty-four members were addd to the roll The certificates issued to this membership aggregate fifteen millior seven hundred and seventeen thousand five hundred dollars. Comparing this work with that ob tained during th) year 1'598, an in crease is sho "n of twentv-six hundred and fourteen members, and thr-e mil lion six huodred and seventy six thou and dollars end twment. One million two hundred and two thousand dollars was disbursed during the year 1899 to tbe dependents of five hundred and eighty-nine deceased members The beginning of the current year shows thirty-nine hundred scetions in operation, a membership of sixty thousand three hundred and nine, and the endowment in force one hundred and eight million ninety-eight thous and fire hundred dollars. I The investments and case oh hand aggregate four hundred and eight y eignt thousand four hundred and fifty seven dollars and sixty-nine cents, and the total amount paid for death claims fourteen million two hundred and twenty-six thousand and seventy seven dollars and sixty-eight cents. While the labors of the past year have been most fruitful, the results fuily meet our expectations, the Board believes that a united effort on the part of the membership of the rank, its officers and organizers will show the work of tbe year 1900 to have ex ceed d all records of the past. Paradoxical as it may seem, the things that live longest in history are the things that never happened. For instance, there's the lie that George Washington didn't tell.
